I’m Geert Brinkman. Fan of nature, addicted to sports, striving for perfection, passionate about design.
ABOUT ME
I believe in an effect-driven approach to design. This approach can only work well when continuously involving the user throughout the entire design process. By doing so, the desired effect can be determined, and the most suitable means to achieve this effect can be designed. Consequently, this approach to design opens up the solution space. Therefore I don’t necessarily see myself as a product designer.
I design interventions.
